Course Description

Overview

Explore the mysteries of dark energy and its profound impact on the universe in this 82-minute World Science Festival conference talk. Delve into the enigmatic anti-gravitational force that defies conventional physics and comprises over two-thirds of the cosmos. Join top physicists as they investigate clues to dark energy's nature, from the universe's earliest moments to its far future. Learn about the geometry of space, inflation theory, Einstein's equations, and the expansion of the universe. Discover the latest observations and evidence related to dark energy, gravitational waves, and the cosmological constant. Gain insights into ongoing research efforts to measure and prove the existence of dark energy within our lifetime. Examine the history of the universe and the formation of black holes in this comprehensive exploration of cosmology's biggest mystery.
